both parker and kobe are just big names at this point, neither is good. So if playing with Kobe intrigues aldridge, then so should parker.
I'm not mad at them for that. They take care of their star players. TP (despite what the general consensus is on this site) has been a big part of our iden y and success. Same with Manu. They both may have made more and raised some eyebrows, till you see they probably could have made more had they gone elsewhere in their primes. True team players. I'm happy SA takes care of it's guys, and that's something that can be sold to LMA, that if you are loyal to them, they'll take care of you.

pass on this bag. He's in a winning situation with 2 of those teams, possibly. How in the can Houston afford him?
He'll be sitting on his couch the whole time at home. No harm in letting teams come through the door and listen to what they have to say. No extra work on his part.
LMA walks into the meeting room and sits down. Pop says nothing. Tony says nothing. Tim presses play on the TV. This plays:
They'd have to gut their roster to free up cap space, most notably Ariza, T. Jones, and J-Smoove.
I would love it if the LMA thing was just a ploy.
Regarding the Lakers. They can't rebuild next year. No draft pick. If they get aldridge, boogie,, or whoever they pretty much have to try ava make the playoffs. They'd be close. We can laugh at them for two years of rebuilding but let's not ignore that that team has some tying talent which could be interesting with the right vet?.
But yeah, I don't see it. Not after pau and Dwight. If it were a money talks thing I'd say L.A. Was a lock but I don't think he's going for a long term max
Meeting is in LA, unfortunately.
Do you see Kawhi as the type of person who would sit in a persuasion meeting and do a lot of talking to sway someone?
Probably better than in SA - "And over here Lamarcus, you can visit the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum as often as you'd like and then swing by Taco Cabana on the way home".
Spurs might throw in free training sessions with Coach B.
?? Timmy recruited Finley.
The funny thing is, this is more "advertising" for LMA than he has done in Portland as the "Auto Mall" commercial with Sideshow Bob definitely doesn't touch this.
I was talking about seeing Porky waddle his way into the meeting tbh.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
Tim Duncan joining Spurs' efforts to recruit prized free agent big man LaMarcus Aldridge. yhoo.it/1Ip6Rum
From the story:
"The Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns are among Aldridge's suitors, but a source close to the situation said the Spurs are currently the frontrunner. Aldridge is from Dallas, but has an offseason home in Orange County, south of Los Angeles. His representation agency, Wasserman Media Group, is based in Los Angeles."

Woj on FS1 right now talking about LMA and other FA's.
Woj says Blazers still in play "comes down to Spurs and that 5th year with Portland".
LMA gonna go to the Lakers tbh.
Yep. Woj just said that he's hearing it's either Aldridge to the Spurs or taking the extra year to stay in Portland.
